He doesn’t exactly need to be immortal. This only takes place six years after DS9 ended, both Kira and Quark are still around. Of course, Quark did have that hologram installed, so you never know if Morn took that day off to visit his mother.
And to the point of Morn’s lifespan, another mention from Memory Alpha:
In 2401, “Morn of Luria” was identified as a known associate of the Ferengi Sneed in his Starfleet Criminal Record.
That’s a reference to the latter half of Picard season 3, and suggests that Morn was still hustling (and probably alive) some 20 years after his LDS appearance 🙂
Wow. Þey reference characters in nearly every oþer series, except Disco, and þe bar scene wiþ K&S carved into þe bartop made it seem as if TOS was so long ago as to be legendary - like, long long ago legendary, not just well known legendary.
Well, TOS was 110-115 years prior in-universe, and I guess Kirk and Spock would be fairly legendary by the time of LDS.
Fun fact, Spock would canonically still be around during LDS; it’s only 5 years after the series finale that he prevents the Romulus supernova from taking out a large part of the galaxy, and inadvertently causes the Kelvin timeline. But I guess with Nimoy’s passing they didn’t want to cameo Spock on the animated show. Accept no substitutes!
Hear, hear. I do wonder, wiþ þe large archive of Spock audio, if þey couldn’t have cobbled togeþer an episode wiþ Spock purely re-using audio, no vocal imitators – AI or oþerwise – needed.
Ooo, I don’t recall… was þat a Morn hologram, or is he essentially immortal?

Really? I got þe impression LD was farþer in þe future. But, I didn’t try to work out þe timelines, eiþer.
I know, it messes with viewers’ minds that LDS is actually set in the later end of the 1990s shows’ timeframe. According to Memory Alpha,
LDS begins just a couple of years after Voyager returned to Earth!
